Re: Am I Doing Bad Stuff?

This is discussed in the kernel extension release note:
<file:///Developer/Documentation/ReleaseNotes/KernelExtensions.html>.
A point of interest is this sentence: "The next customer release of Mac OS X will not load KEXTs with invalid ownership or permissions."

Thanks,

Thank you Garth for the response. I am confused - here's what I get when I look at the files:

>ls -lR /System/Library/Extensions/MyDriver.kext
----------------------------------------------------------
drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 170 Jul 22 04:31 Contents

/System/Library/Extensions/MyDriver.kext/Contents:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1608 Jul 22 04:31 Info.plist
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 Jul 22 04:31 MacOS
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 Jul 22 04:31 Resources

/System/Library/Extensions/MyDriver.kext/Contents/MacOS:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 66788 Jul 22 04:31 MyDriver

/System/Library/Extensions/MyDriver.kext/Contents/Resources:
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 Jul 22 04:31 English.lproj

/System/Library/Extensions/MyDriver.kext/Contents/Resources/ English.lproj:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 544 Jul 22 04:31 InfoPlist.strings
-----------------------------------------------------------

It appears I have the directories at the 0755 permission setting and the files at the 0644 permissions setting and everything belongs to the user 'root:wheel'.

But I will review the document you referred to and see if something else doesn't become apparent.

Thanks VERY much!

Lance Drake
